At every Step

"First Brother, we need to wait for a little. We cannot go to Yeosu town without confirming the details. Also, the Governor seemed suspicious. I do not trust his words, so I have sent a spy to find out the truth," Sheng Li informed Jian Guozhi while they were having tea.

"Zui Mingze seems suspicious, which means he has turned against us," Jian Guozhi cocked his eyebrow in response.

"I am not sure, First Brother. He said it's Qiu Shuren, who is aiding Lian Zoumu," Sheng Li stated. "Can the First Brother believe it?" He asked.

"That's impossible. Qiu Shuren is loyal. However, we cannot rule out the fact that we have been betrayed by our own second brother, so anyone can betray us," Jian Guozhi opined.

Sheng Li agreed with his words, but he was unable to believe that Qiu Shuren would aid a petty son of a merchant, and all this would happen.
